The Language Genres in Pod starim krovovima [Under the Ancient Roofs] by Gjalski in the Historical, Political and Economic Context

Summary/Abstract: The paper offers an analysis of the short story collection "Pod starim krovovima" ("Under the Ancient Roofs" by Ksaver Šandor Gjalski in the historical, political and economic context. The analysis showed that larger prose units consist of a number of language genres, incorporated into text using different literary strategies. It is also shown that a narrating character is the basis of a novel or larger prose form — for, by talking, he transmits particular statements that already exist in the language of the community whose part it is, adding to them his own attitudes and opinions. This way, the language communication channel is created, and the statements of the prose characters point the literary text towards the references external to literature, embracing the entire social life of a particular community. Besides discussing the theoretical literary issues, the paper also presents the relationships between the fiction literary text and the various social reality it refers to. This problem is not being theoretically discussed, but by placing different spoken genres from Gjalski's collection within the historical context, whose description and analysis have been taken from the detailed historical study by Mirjana Gross and Agneza Szabo, Prema hrvatskome građanskom druπtvu [Towards the Croatian Civil Society].
